If initially they were anarchists the moment there was consensus they would cease to be anarchists and become the founding commitee of critical mass.

Why are you only concerned about blocking walkers and cyclists. Why exactly is it OK to block other public roads and be met with a great deal of opposition?

Why is it nobody seems to understand the multi-faceted concept of anarchy around here? Duh! Anarchists can communicate with each other and reach agreements. Why not? Also have you ever heard of a 'call-out' from an individual, where others may individually decide to attend? I made a call-out once but only the police turned up and they looked at me rather suspiciously. -- Critical Mass London http://www.criticalmasslondon.org.uk Drivers ram cyclists because they can.

What's wrong with "x" hours per day at "n" pounds per hour? It's not as if they're going far from base and can't get home. |
